Frequently Asked Questions

What are veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a thin piece of porcelain to recreate natural-looking teeth. Also, it provides resilience and strength comparable o the natural tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers are one of the primary tools of cosmetic dentistry. Suitable for a great variety of patients, the small porcelain sheets “dress up” the natural tooth to correct the color, shape, and size of the teeth and to fill in interdental space which may be otherwise difficult to cover. Also known as “instant orthodontics”, the porcelain veneers offer a bright smile. If you are planning to go for porcelain veneers such as a cosmetic procedure, here are the most important things you should know about porcelain veneers.

Is a Chipped or Cracked Tooth Marring Your Smile?

Don’t worry; with porcelain veneers, you can achieve a new and aesthetically pleasing look. Porcelain veneers are a highly effective solution for enhancing the appearance of your teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking improvement. Whether you have chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, veneers can restore your smile with a seamless and attractive finish.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are suitable for both young and senior patients, provided their teeth are in good condition. While veneers address aesthetic issues, they are not meant for restorative or orthodontic problems, for which a crown may be recommended. The most common uses for porcelain veneers include:

✓ Color Correction: Veneers can be used on all teeth for a whiter smile or on a single tooth to match the color with the surrounding teeth.
✓ Correction of Excessive Wear: They can repair teeth worn down by grinding or diseases.
✓ Treatment of Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Veneers effectively cover and protect damaged teeth.
✓ Interdental Space Filling: They can fill gaps between teeth for a more uniform appearance.
✓ Masking Uneven or Irregular Tooth Surfaces: Veneers provide a smooth and even tooth surface.

The Procedure for Applying Porcelain Veneers

Applying porcelain veneers typically involves two sessions:

First Appointment: Impressions and Preparation

Initial Assessment: The dentist evaluates the teeth’s overall health and discusses your goals.
Taking Impressions: Impressions of the targeted teeth and neighboring teeth are taken to create an accurate reproduction.
X-Rays: X-rays may be taken to further assess the teeth.
Preparation: The dentist preps the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneers.
Lab Work: The impressions, along with color and shape preferences, are sent to a dental lab to create the veneers. This process takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

Second Appointment: Fitting and Bonding

Adjustments: The dentist makes final adjustments to ensure the veneers fit comfortably and look natural.
Bonding: Special bonding cement is applied, and a light beam activates it to secure the veneers in place.
Final Adjustments: The dentist removes any excess cement and makes final adjustments to the fit.
Post-Procedure Care: You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your new veneers, and future visits may be scheduled to monitor the teeth and veneers.

Anahid Youssoufian

Being a dentist is in my blood, my DNA, it’s part of my family heritage. I’m the 3rd generation dentist after my father and grandfather. My father assisted my grandfather and later developed his practice. Since my early teens, I assisted my father. My love for the dental field grew from these experiences. During these early years, I decided to become a dentist.

Dr Anahid is awesome. My family & I have been coming here forever. She really cares for her patients & it shows in her quality of work. If you’re looking for a great reliable dentist with years of knowledge & experience, look no further. She’s simply the best! See for yourself.

My family and I have been going to Arat Dental for over 7 years now, and there’s a reason why we still go! - the dentist is the best! She’s detailed, gentle and explains every step of the process while she’s performing a cleaning or procedure.

Ararat Dental has been our family dentist for over 10 years at both of the jersey City and North Bergen locations. Dr. Youssoufian has a wonder sweet and caring demeanor. The staff is always very nice and courteous and they are always able to accommodate you for any emergency visits you might have. She’s also very thorough and considerate. She’s isn’t the type of Dr. to preform any major, or risky procedures, unless absolutely necessary. This has saved me more than one tooth and a lot of money, where another Dr. might be eager to perform a root canal or oral surgery, etc. She and her staff are wonderful and I can’t recommend them enough.
